Now called Beach Walk on the Ocean, it does not even come close to living up to the reviews and recommendations of the past.   While the place was clean and "quaint," the check-in process and lack of communication were unacceptable.  I did not receive the promised email of check-in instructions the morning of arrival and had to phone them to be told that I only needed to go to the 2-star hotel next to the B&B to check in.  I explicitly asked about a key code since I would arrive late and was told it was unnecessary.  Upon arrival, no one was present at the hotel front desk, and a sign said to phone, which I was done and told the key was "on the bed."  I tried to access the rear exterior door close to the parking, and it was locked.  I then schellped luggage to the boardwalk front entrance (in the rain) where there was a keypad lock, necessitating another phone call. The odor of mold and mildew was overpowering once inside.  When I requested clean towels from housekeeping, I was told they only had hand towels available.  There was no breakfast (and in fairness to them, they did note that on their website and correspondence), but they did have (bad) coffee available, but no creamer beyond flavored creamers.   In summary, a real disappointment from a place with a little care, some customer service skills, and some dehumidifiers could be a real gem!

Dissapointing

We stayed in the veranda room, which opens to the veranda and has a great view of the ocean. Located right on the boardwalk.
It appears, from reading older reviews, that a hot breakfast used to be served. In may 2023 it was packaged muffins and coffee / tea (not even bakery muffins). For $350/night, they should do better.
The bed was comfortable but there were blood stains on both the comforter and sheets. Ewww! We asked Danielle to change them and she did so promptly (otherwise we would've given the place 2 stars).

Check sheets carefully

The rooms were beautiful, VERY clean, and the bed was comfortable. We came for a wedding in west Ocean City, it was a tropical storm, and they still were open. The view from the veranda room was gorgeous, even in a storm. The owners/staff were lovely and friendly. We would definitely stay here again. If we cane with the whole family I would look to rent an apartment at the adjacent BeachWalk property. (Same owners). Clearly they have high standards.

Lovely stay.

We stayed for a week and we’re completely disappointed.The only positive things are: location - right on the boardwalk and the beach, with plenty of restaurants around it. The inn provides beach chairs and towels - which is very convenient. Besides that, unfortunately I have nothing positive to say about Inn on the ocean.Bed and Breakfast definition assumes a place which is known for extra hospitality, more personal service, as well as hot cooked meal prepared in the morning and little extras to make the stay more enjoyable.Well, it’s not a case here. The staff is ok, but they really don’t care much about you, you can only ask them questions in the morning because there is no one there in the afternoon.The place is very old outdated and needs major cleaning. We stayed in the Hunt room and it was horrible.The room is dirty, you really don’t want to look behind the sink and on the floors. The shower is the worst I’ve ever seen. I’m an average size person, but I had hard time trying to fit in the shower, and it’s super old. It shouldn’t probably cost more than $30 or so to put a basic shower head, why can’t they at least change the shower? The breakfast was awful, prepackaged bagel and muffins,banana and apples, the same everyday. Oh, and they boiled eggs in bulk, which doesn’t make them that fresh. I got an egg and it had dusty grey yolk, which usually appears when egg is not fresh or was boiled a week ago. And please don’t use Covid pandemic as an excuse. We stayed in bed and breakfast in Cape Cod last summer in the midst of pandemic surge, and had amazing hot breakfast each morning with proper precautions taking by staff. You can’t get cup of tea or coffee after breakfast here, so if you want a night cup, walk on the boardwalk and find a place to buy a cup of tea in the evening. Oh, by the way,there is no iron in this bed and breakfast ,so bring your own from home.The place doesn’t feel like bed and breakfast, it feels like cheap motel, where owner just wants to make money and doesn’t care about the guests. It’s a perfect location for restaurants and the beach, but there are plenty of other options around here where you can have more pleasant experience.

Stay away from this dirty house.

Kyle was very helpful at the front desk he informed us of the amenities they provided, a great deal of discounts and a gas card from Wawa. Excellent service. Room very nice two queen beds and Ocean View,
Kitchenette with coffe pot.

Birthday Trip to Ocean City Maryland.

Excellent bed and breakfast right on the beach.  Vicki and Charlie are excellent hosts.  Breakfast was outstanding.  Vicki gave us excellent dinner recommendations and even made reservations for us.  Rick, the maintenance person was a great resource and really friendly.

Inn on the Ocean Ocean City, MD

Our three day golf trip was almost a wash out due to a nasty storm, but our gracious host Vicki came to the rescue with delicious freshly baked cookies for us as we spent an afternoon watching the storm that cancelled our golf round. 
After an amazing breakfast the next morning, we were able to play golf. Our get-away was made memorable with “The Inn on the Ocean” making it special. 
Vicki - thank you for the comfortable accommodations and the best in hospitality!
Sincerely,
Pennsylvania Golf Ladies

Friends Golf Trip Get-away

We came down for the car show, but wanted something a little different than a hotel. Wow were we impressed. I am not a breakfast person, but ohhh my amazing breakfasts, coffee ready when I got up. The view of the boardwalk from the porch is amazing. Vickie, Charlie are wonderful hosts. Thank you so much look forward to coming back. 

Absolutely wonderful getaway

We have stayed at Inn on the Ocean 3 times now and cannot imaging going anywhere else. The rooms are charming. The atmosphere is delightful. The breakfasts are to die for. Once you stay there you are part of a family. Vicki and Charlie are the greatest. Sitting on that porch is the most relaxing enjoyable experience of our summers.

Will never stay in a hotel again

Once again our stay was such a pleasure,  Jessica just loves it there and misses it when we get home from vacation,  see ya'all next year.
From the hospitality to the breakfasts to the walks on the boardwalk and beach we enjoyed our stay very much. Out then to Vicki and Charlie,  we will miss you much.

Sincerely Jessica and Jeff
